    Default Backless bezel setting - advise please.

    Advice please.
    I知 setting some pieces of sea glass using the backless bezel method. I知 pushing the bezel (using fine silver) over at opposite points and also flipping it so both the front and back are worked on. The bezel fits tightly around the sea glass but when the bezel is pushed over all round both front and back, the sea glass still seems a bit loose. I知 continuing to work the bezel over and over (burnishing) but it doesn稚 seem to make much difference.
    Any ideas welcome. 😊

    Put it in some coolmorph or polymorph, set one side then turn over and set the other side. If you are still having problems some gentle persuasion with hammer and punch, this will require a little clean up depending on how good you are with a punch.
